How is the wooden spoon!? I would worry more about Plymouth's future tbh than what Poole are doing.

True colours come out when they’re not winning, glug glug.

First of all well done to Scunthorpe who battled all night. I have said it a few times but why in earth did the Poole management chose Scunthorpe over Redcar? Couldn’t believe it when the choice was made nd thought they had seen something that I had missed. Alas no and tonight Pirates have made themselves a mammoth task now to get through to the final. Did they not see Douglas is virtually unbeatable at WR? Again tonight he proved to be the best riser around our track. Almost untouchable. And they had Kemp at reserve who did as expected. Throw in an unfit Zach, and Ben taking a real purler and the risk was there.

To be fair Scunthorpe seemed to be wanting it more.  Battled all night and were faster out of the traps. Making the track slick today didn’t help. Where was all the dirt from a couple of weeks ago?

Full credit to Scunthorpe.

I thought it was a 50/50 discussion Scunthorpe or Redcar, but I'd say at least 90% of people on here & fb were adamant Edinburgh & Scunthorpe were going to be the teams picked.

This play off lark is enough to p. off the most dedicated of fans. Looking at he results so far you can see the top two teams in the CL not even competing in the p.off final.

A completely contrived  finish to the season.

Still might me the last ever CL p.offs as the CL may no longer exist next season.

That's the point of the play-offs, (despite me hating them), the point is the top 2 don't "deserve" to be in the final, they only "deserve" to fight with the other top 6 clubs to get there - that's how play-offs work (as much as I hate them)

That’s a fair point I’ll let you worry about Plymouth’s future as you comment on all our topics and threads.

Did you read the whole article?

Mike Phillips tells Gary May to "get preparing for 2024."

They're jetting off to Tenerife for the AGM and they are looking to a employ  "a commercial manager" a "paid possition"

Definitely worrying signs. :rolleyes:

'...I don't know if Plymouth will come to the tapes yet ..'

Sounds worrying to me.

What was the nonsense all about in heat 14?

Jake Allen Makes a perfect start, red light on.

Drew Kemp on his own bike, perfectly legitimately. Red light on, all a cuffel then he has to come back out on Nathan's bike?

Showed some real cojones to then smash them for a 5-1

Didn't his chain come off??
